AmmoLandUSA –-(Ammoland.com)- The shooting community was stunned by two Executive Orders from the Obama administration earlier this week.
One of the proclamations effectively closes a secret loophole commonly used by street thugs, gang members, and the Reverend Al Sharpton. Under current law, legally formed corporations and trust officers are able to purchase restricted firearms such as short-barreled shotguns, automatic rifles and sound suppressors. The new Executive Order mandates finger prints, background checks and local law enforcement approval of officers and trustees before these legal entities can apply for special permits from the Bureau of Alcohol, Tobacco, Firearms and Explosives. Although the process is cumbersome, federally controlled and takes 6 to 12 months to complete, administration officials are convinced that low lifes and gang bangers are taking advantage.
“Fo shizzle!” whined one Crips member who declined to be identified. “I was planning a couple of jackings for sometime next spring or summer. I figured I would need to be strapped for that, so I had my mouthpiece at the law firm of Rutherford, Collingsworth and Davenport drawing me up a Subchapter S Corporation. You need that to begin the application process for restricted firearms ya know.”
“Obviously the benefits of limited financial liability of the partners and flexibility of taxable income distribution will benefit my fellow bangers too. Besides, the Bloods all use Limited Liability Corporations, so we didn’t want to go that route.”
Most gang members we spoke to were still in a state of shock, wondering how they were going to acquire restricted weapons now that the corporate and trust loophole is being closed. Many top 100 law firms are already planning for losses in billable revenue.
“Losing thug life business is really going to hurt” moaned Commerce Winthorpe, Esquire, founding partner of the prestigious firm Winthorpe, Winthorpe and Fiddy Cent PeaceOut!, LLC. “We’re definitely going to have to cut back on complimentary mint juleps on Friday afternoons.”
Administration officials expect the measure to eliminate virtually all crime resulting from the loophole.
“Today’s street thugs have gotten pretty sophisticated” explained an anonymous administration official.
“They’ll plan a mugging 6-12 months in advance to allow time for setting up a corporation, completing the BATFE application, and waiting for agency approval to get a suppressed double deuce. The days of spontaneous jackings are long gone.”
While insiders won’t comment, many expect the next Executive Order will close the notorious non-profit museum loophole, believed to be the root cause of cannon, flintlock and gatling gun crime.

BAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA!!!
Freakin’ hilarious!
This is the funniest thing I’ve see since the photoshopped Obummer pictures. Made my day (until some @sshole so-called ‘jew’ ruined it by sticking his BIG nose into a private conversation between myself and a friend, UNINVITED, here at Starbucks) It nearly came to blows.
LOL! TY #1 Still chuckling 🙂
Ya might want to tell the “So-called jew” He isn’t starting out his New Year very well, he won’t be goin’ into the book and is going to have a sour New Year! hehe 🙂
Hope the rest of your night goes better! 🙂
Myself and a couple of ‘awake’ friends were laughing about it just a while ago. Couldn’t stay pissed off all day, RT. 🙂
Good for you guys! Have an awesome one!
🙂
LOL
I was recently a factory production gunsmith, making semi-custom to custom 1911’s. I formed a trust to obtain 2 suppressors, which I have had for several months, it took exactly 6 mos for the feds to process the form4’s, trust and issue the tax stamps. MG’s are way out of my price range and in my opiinon, SBR’s are superfulous when one can wield an M4gery with a 16″ bbl. The trust was formed because where I currently reside, the Sheriff or the Chief of police will not sign-off on NFA stuff for regular Joe’s, this is a commen problem of many counties in my state. I’ve held a CHL for ~15 yrs. While I have wanted to have some suppressors for decades, I knew intrinsically that this option was becoming endangered, so I got ’em, while “the gettin’ is good”. Glad I got ’em now because the technology and materials are now superior to a few years back.

P.S. Howdy to Henry, JD, Rhums, #1, Barrett, NC, Digger, Smilar, Cathleen, tammyc, REDHORSE, Bulldog, RT Hawk, Millard, rbreason, Angel and the other regs – been scoping this site for a while, yet this my 1st comment. Been awake for decades. God Bless y’all.
My uncle had the same problem. It is now legal to own a suppressor in my state…but the sheriff wouldn’t sign off on the paperwork so he could own one. This was last year…I don’t know if my uncle started the trust to get his suppressor or not but he was talking about it. He was pretty cheesed off about all the loopholes he had to jump through and the cost to get a suppressor that was his right to purchase legally.
Welcome aboard, Mjolnir.
FTT is the best truther site on the net, imo.
A bastion of sanity in a sea of madness.
Mjolnir welcome, and like #1 said this is the best site on the net!
Bless us all!
Cool posting name, btw.
Thor is my absolute favorite comic movie to date. It aced Iron Man (the first one) from the top spot.
Glad to have you with us Mjolnir. Lock and load!
